    Hostile/rude encounters on social media

    A lady on Facebook stated her entire party is not what the political cartoon in question was portraying. I responded to her that there are factions in every party including hers that can beg to differ. She responded insisting all factions in her party agree with her and then went on to insult me...

    US-born citizens returning from overseas travels

    Wouldn't CBP need to aggressively recruit more officers if they're going to assume even every single fellow American coming back from Colombia or Mexico is a drug trafficker? Talking about millions too.

    US-born citizens returning from overseas travels

    Maybe. Almost forgot I notched in one international travel under the current administration so far when I went to Colombia last month to surprise my girlfriend for Valentine's Day. When I came back, it was a fast track as usual through Global Entry lane after answering no to CBP officer's...

    US-born citizens returning from overseas travels

    Never did though. Otherwise, surely I wouldn't be holding an active/valid US passport let alone a REAL ID Virginia DL.

    Does your specialty include immigration law?

    US-born citizens returning from overseas travels

    Never mind the birth certificate part. Almost forgot that seeing Maryland under the "Place of birth" line in my passport verifies my birth cert and so does REAL ID ‍(face palm). But even so, I have no reason to worry about losing my electronics to CBP as much as everyone else would?

    US-born citizens returning from overseas travels

    I've heard in the news that CBP's been going very hard on even green card holders and residential aliens as much as visa travelers. Any idea if just as much for even US-born citizens too? Think carrying and whipping out my Maryland birth certificate could avoid or minimize the risk of losing my...

    B1 process no different for special events (Olympics, World Cup, etc.)?

    As in foreseeing not even close to full capacity stadiums/arenas?

    B1 process no different for special events (Olympics, World Cup, etc.)?

    Even when an international event like Olympics, World Cup, etc. is scheduled to be held on US soil, it doesn't mean US embassies will be any more lenient on issuing B1 visas especially under the current administration. Right? Trying to get an idea for a partner of 4.5 years who lives overseas...

    Illegal interview question(s)?

    What's the typical outcome say if the former job candidate wins the discrimination suit?

    Illegal interview question(s)?

    Given that it happened 13 years ago, I'm sure it's already past the statute of limitation by now. I had a job interview with a non-profit organization set up by a recruiting agency. Somehow I vividly remember an interviewer asking me about my ethnicity although I can clearly tell we're both...

    Racially verbal encounter

    If racist encounters are considered protected First Amendment rights as long as it's just verbal and don't insinuate nor elevate to anything physical, then what was different about that incident in Arizona...

    Racially verbal encounter

    Thought this was the closest category to post the questions later in this posting. This happened to me one time in DC where the population is predominantly black. I'm Asian-American. As I was pushing my cart in a supermarket and was about to pass a black guy in an aisle, he muttered a few slurs...

    Small claims ruling made in another country but defendant now lives in US

    I misworded the subject. Should've started with something like "Potential small claims..." Well for the particular retainer and case we mutually signed and notarized, his fees costed me about $550-600. That other lawyer there who I now consider honorable told me that of course the disciplinary...
